Tuesday night saw lots of drops despite everything being new and the weather getting colder outside. ABC had a new Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. after last week's repeat but it was down two tenths in viewers and the demo for another low. It has yet to stop dropping even though the rate has slowed. With it only getting mixed reception at best, the drops are unlikely to stop here. At 9pm, The Goldbergs and Trophy Wife were lucky to get their full seasons last week because the numbers here may have made ABC rethink their decision. The Goldbergs was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo while Trophy Wife was down six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo to a terrible 1.1 demo. Both were series lows despite following a new Marvel this week instead of a repeat. They have full seasons now so the question is when will ABC give them a try on Wednesday? A Robin Roberts special at 10pm leading up to the CMA Awards did nothing. 

CBS was pretty close to last week but slightly down. At 8pm, NCIS was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. At 9pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season low. At 10pm, Person of Interest was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It will probably go back up next week when it's against Chicago Fire and not The Voice. NBC had a nice rebound for The Biggest Loser which was up seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best number since the season premiere. A two hour live edition of The Voice followed and was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. As usual, this show is dropping once the blind auditions and battle rounds are over and it becomes more like a standard singing competition.

FOX's comedies returned from a week off either even or up from their last airing. At 8pm, Dads was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. This show getting a full season was a major win for the critically maligned show. At 8:30pm, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was dead even with its last airing. The 9pm hour was up as New Girl with the return of Damon Wayans Jr. was up two tenths in viewers and the demo for its best numbers in a month. At 9:30pm, The Mindy Project was up two tenths in viewers and the demo, posting its best demo since October 1. All in all, this wasn't a bad showing and it's possible the 9pm hour put a dent in ABC's comedies.

EPISODE GUIDES: Rhoda Season Five

On Thursdays, I go through classic series with a critical look at each season. Today I am looking at Season Five (the final season) of  Rhoda ! RHODA: SEASON FIVE 1978 13 episodes Rhoda' s final season was a truncated one as the show was cancelled in December 1978 after only 13 episodes had been produced (and only nine had aired). This feels like a continuation from season four in many ways except with the ill-advised split between Ida and Martin (more on that below). While  Rhoda  has an occasional good moment and even a couple decent episodes, it is a show that seems so wildly different from season one and not in a good way.  Rhoda  could never figure out what it fully wanted to be and only made it four and a half seasons as a result. Starring Valerie Harper as Rhoda Morgenstern  (13 episodes) Julie Kavner as Brenda Morgenstern  (13 episodes) Ray Buktenica as Benny Goodwin  (11 episodes) Kenneth McMillan as Jack Doyle  (9 episodes) Nancy Wa...

Mar Apr May NBC was the powerhouse on Thursday nights but ABC still gave it the old college try in the Fall of 1995 with a trio of new dramas that they hoped would help them cut into the Peacock's dominance. Headlining their night was Murder One , a high profile new show from Steven Bochco that received much of the network's attention before the season started. The series focused on one murder case for an entire season, whi...

DECADE IN REVIEW: The Best Comedies of the 2010s

During the month of December, I will be looking back at the decade that was the 2010s on TV. I will be sharing my favorite sitcoms, dramas, the best episodes, the best performances and the worst shows of the decade. To be eligible for this list, a show had to air the majority of its episodes in the 2010s. However, for the rankings and determination, all episodes were taken into account, including ones that may have aired before 2010. I will also preface that there are comedies that have aired this decade that I haven't watched yet so this is the best of what I have watched. To be fair, that preface is more true for dramas. There's not a ton of unwatched comedies sitting in my Netflix or Amazon watchlist. So here are my Top 10 comedies of the 2010s! Close Calls:  Master of None (Netflix) - An inconsistent but occasionally fascinating commentary on many life issues done so with innovative storytelling. The Good Place (NBC) - A show that aims high with a fascinating premis...
